abstract = {After 14 months of fieldwork plus nine successive summers, Becky Ross went into the field for her 11th season with a southwest Indian Tribe. When she first entered the field, she had been accepted as a granddaughter by an elderly couple with whom she had always lived, and the couple{\textquoteright}s three grown children treated her as a sister. This summer, when she reached the field, she learned that her "grandfather-father" was not well: he had Alzheimer{\textquoteright}s and diabetes, and was exhibiting distressing signs of senility. Her adopted family asks her to help take care of the elderly couple. What should Becky do?},
